Yes the smilies are necessary.

I have to express myself and my emotions and also give life to these posts.
I don't get why you think Amazing Kiss sounds outdated.

The instruments, sounds, musical arrangements, and singing all sound like a current-day production.

You must just think it sounds outdated because you know the song was recorded a long time ago. You're letting that determine your judgement.

Yeah, that's gotta be it. The song wasn't even recorded THAT long ago.

The song IS very young and teenage bubblegum sparkly pop, and BoA's grown up from that, but the song doesn't sound ~outdated.~

I mean you can't tell me that if a pretty young new teenage Korean girl came out with the tween demographic and Amazing Kiss as her first single that it would sound outdated.
BoA songs ******** on Amazing Kiss? I CAN'T.

The brilliant beautiful passionate metaphoric lyrics of love alone!
Keeping up with BoA?

I come across BoA at times by chance.
